If NHRA really wanted to make their AHFS work and catch all those who sandbag they would use the 1/8 mile ET for the trigger, things would be different for sure, Paul.

The fast guys know how to slow their cars down before the 1/8th mile marker, as well as the 1/4. |

You may be right, but I'm sure there will be some people who will have problems running under the new indexes. Especially at certain tracks like Bristol, but let's not get into that right now. Let's just assume that everybody can run under the new indexes without any problems. How will lowering the indexes help you win more rounds in eliminations? How will lowering the indexes help you win more races? How will lowering the indexes help you win more heads-up races? How will lowering the indexes help you win more class eliminations? How will lowering the indexes help you be number one qualifier more often (if that's your gig.)? -Toby |

Yes, thats a very good point but slowing their cars down before the 1/8th mile could be a fatal decision in a heads up run, Paul.

Does everyone realize this POST should be broke up into TWO different topics?
#1 - as Toby is asking.... Why lower all indexes... it is debatable. #2 - if trigger in 2009 is -1.15 and -1.40..... where will it end up in 2010 (if indexes are changed). Should it be even harder to trigger a review/or easier- which will have more impact to our class? You can't debate one subject without looking at both - BUT they are two seperate subjects.

Until they stop allowing stockers to enter superstock. Filling the fields before some poor sap with a superstocker could enter, then you're right, no reason, based on your example. I just think that when a "legal" stocker can run eight tenths under in superstock, there's a problem somewhere. Just my opinion. BTW, nice meeting you in Pomona. |
